Meanwhile, the Bitcoin life insurer backed by Sam Altman, has raised another $37.5 million, led by Bain Capital Crypto, bringing its total funding to over $180 million.

Both premiums and payouts are denominated in Bitcoin, and it has signed up 15 brokers across Singapore, Hong Kong, the UAE, and Switzerland.

What do you think of the crypto life insurance business? Let’s chat in the comments.

BAT up 2.2%, OI nearly doubles?

I just checked Binance futures, and something looks off on the BAT screen.
Price: 0.13921, up just 2.2% in 24 hours? Yet trading volume hit $163.8M. Who’s making moves?
OI isn’t climbing gradually—it’s stepping up: 4.7M, 7.1M, 8.7M, 9.1M. Four big jumps, up 95.1%.
Price hasn’t taken off, but positions have nearly doubled first. Is this a low-volume grind down? No. Did the price fall? No. Are traders adding? Real money is going in.
Now look at the funding rate: it went from -0.0059% to -0.0080%. It’s negative, and still moving lower. Are bears in control? Yes. Are shorts free? Think again. The more negative it gets, the higher the carrying cost for short positions.
Market cap is only $212.3M. Spot trading pairs are available, 10 related news stories are circulating, and the BAT community call is scheduled for November 11. There’s buzz, but no clear direction yet.
Thinking of chasing it? Check your position’s carrying cost first, then take another look at your leverage. Wait for confirmation—don’t make the market’s decision for it.

Risk warning: Negative funding can backfire on shorts, but it can also keep pressuring longs—the first thing to get liquidated is often not a direction, but a position.

$ZEC The node group has made a bold claim: quantum-resistant signatures for transparent addresses, targeting next January.

A Zakura engineering post says they’ll start by securing the 70% of coins in the public pool, with hash signatures designed to withstand quantum attacks; the mainnet activation date hasn’t been set in stone yet. Perpetuals saw over 500 million in trading volume in a day, with the price hovering around $1,200.

Can they really make it by January? Drop by the comments and keep an eye out.

$CKB is up 11%, but the funding rate has turned negative

I just finished scanning the order book, and something feels off.
Market cap is only $72.3M, but 24h trading volume is $7.8M. Money is moving—and not just a little.
Open interest is climbing in stages: 1.5M → 1.6M → 1.6M → 2.0M. The final leg jumped straight up, +31.6%.
This isn’t a slow bleed on thin volume—real money is coming in and adding to positions.
What about the funding rate? It went from +0.0056% all the way to -0.0012%. It’s turned negative.
In plain English: bears are starting to gain the upper hand. But short positions aren’t free to hold—the cost of carrying them is already rising.
And yet the price is up +11.0%, with the current price at 0.001449.
Price is rising while the funding rate turns negative and open interest surges—both sides are piling in, and no one has shown their hand yet.
Keep an eye on your position costs, don’t overdo the leverage, and wait for confirmation.

Deeply negative funding rates bite through highly leveraged traders’ margin first. Direction comes later.

Ledger’s investigation into a batch of devices from Southeast Asian distributor CryptoBilis has moved forward: at least one device has been confirmed to contain an unauthorized hardware implant.

The company says its own systems weren’t compromised, but it has asked the distributor to stop sales. The estimated on-chain losses are around $80 million, though the figure hasn’t been confirmed. If you bought from them in the past 90 days, don’t initialize the device. If you’ve already used one, consider replacing your seed phrase.

$ARPA Short position: funding fees are biting back

+94.4%. This isn’t trading volume—it’s open interest.
1.9M > 1.9M > 2.0M > 3.7M. The final leg shot up almost vertically.
Price rose just 5.2%, to 0.012022 USDT. Trading volume: $45.4M. Market cap: $24.1M.
Short sellers watched the funding rate turn negative, sliding from -0.0114% to -0.0123%, and thought they had the upper hand.
But the more negative it gets, the higher the cost of holding shorts. You haven’t won on direction yet, but the rent is already due.
What stings more: price is near the lows, funding is negative, yet OI has surged 94.4%. Real money is piling in as prices fall—it’s not a low-volume slide.
Negative funding and low prices could fuel short covering—but they don’t guarantee a rebound.
Don’t just watch the direction. Watch your holding costs and your leverage.
If the price climbs another notch, short positions will feel the pain first.

Risk warning: Negative funding isn’t a safety cushion—it’s a bill you have to pay every day.

$ETH A whale is withdrawing tokens: two linked addresses just moved about 6,000 tokens out of Binance, worth roughly $15 million in total. The source wallet is also sending USDC to new addresses, suggesting it may keep buying in batches.

The price is slightly up over the past 24 hours, trading near its current level, with volume above $2 billion.

Is this a signal to buy the dip? Come hash it out in the comments.

Justin Sun just said: $TRX anti-quantum encryption has already been successfully tested on the testnet, and the mainnet can go live at any time.

The system on Nile has been under testing since July, and he’s pushing it again this time. Perpetuals are seeing over 20 million in daily trading volume, with the price hovering around 0.33.

If it really launches on mainnet, can it set the pace? Come hash it out in the comments.

$ZK Did the shorts really win?

Up 12.3%, but the funding rate flipped? OI is still daring to surge 68.5%?

ZK is now at 0.015535 USDT, with $46.1M in 24h trading volume and a market cap of $107.9M.

The funding rate went from +0.0014% to -0.0009%—now negative. Shorts are starting to gain the upper hand.

But open interest climbed steadily from 4.4M to 6.1M, 7.1M, and 7.3M. As the price rose, traders were putting real money into new positions.

Bulls think they’re chasing a breakout. Bears think they’ve caught a reversal.

Both sides could get burned: the cost of holding short positions is rising, and the more negative the funding rate gets, the more it looks like someone is being squeezed. Meanwhile, if trading volume dries up, longs added near the top could be left holding positions they can’t get out of.

Price is rising, the funding rate has turned negative, and OI is still surging. That’s an anomaly—not a party.

The direction isn’t settled; costs are starting to shift between traders.

Wait for confirmation before acting. Don’t let the funding rate move you first.

Risk warning: A negative funding rate doesn’t mean a rebound is guaranteed. The more crowded the positions, the harsher the squeeze when things turn.

$UNI Someone’s moving a lot of tokens: a whale just withdrew about 1.8 million from Venus, worth over $13 million, and sent it straight to Binance.

Lookonchain spotted them accumulating around $9 last year. They only turned profitable a couple of days ago, but still haven’t sold. Perpetuals are seeing over $100 million in daily trading volume, and the price is around $7.50, up a couple of percent.

Are they about to dump, or do they have something else planned? Share your thoughts in the comments.

$SUI funding rates turn negative, but the money hasn’t left?

Up 4.7%—so how did the funding rate turn negative?
Who’s buying on the way up, and who’s pushing back?
Keep your eyes on this line: 129.2M → 132.0M → 133.5M → 140.7M.
Climbing one level at a time: +8.9%.
This isn’t a low-volume slide. Real money is flowing in.
Trading volume: $227.4M. Market cap: $4.60B. Spot is right there.
The funding rate slipped from +0.0007% to -0.0000%.
In plain English: shorts are gaining the upper hand, but the cost of holding short positions is now rising.
Negative funding at these low levels could bring short covering—or an even harder leg down.
Which side are you on? How many swings can your leverage withstand?
Don’t guess the direction. Calculate the cost first.

Negative funding doesn’t mean the price has to rise. It only means shorts are starting to pay—and the side paying can still win.

$CHIP Can't Keep Falling? Someone's Still Adding to Their Position

Wait, let's look at the facts first: it hasn't fallen over the past 24 hours—it's up 27.3%, with the current price at 0.06351 USDT.

Here's what's odd—

The funding rate went from -0.0040% to -0.0052%, turning even more negative. Short sellers are gaining strength.

Open interest is up 9.4%, following this path: 9.2M > 9.1M > 9.3M > 10.1M. The price is high, and positions are still piling up. This isn't aimless trading on low volume—real money is changing hands. The battle between bulls and bears is intensifying.

Trading volume is $40.1M, market cap is $133.5M, and spot trading pairs are available. The takeaway is simple: the funding rate has turned negative, and short sellers are gaining strength.

So here's the picture: up 27.3%, yet the funding rate has turned negative—short sellers are starting to gain the upper hand, but the cost of holding short positions will rise. When prices rise and positions are added, it may not be the price that falls—it could be the short sellers.

There's only one conclusion: the direction isn't confirmed, but costs have already started moving.

Don't chase the move. First, make sure your leverage can withstand the next funding settlement.

Risk warning: a negative funding rate doesn't mean a rebound is coming. Short covering is possible, not guaranteed.

$W Funding rates flip; bears are biting themselves

Warning: funding rates are already biting.

+0.0004% turned into -0.0006%. It’s negative.
Short-side pressure is building—sounds great, right?

But the price hasn’t fallen. 0.017667 USDT, still up +2.6% over 24h.

Now look at open interest: +13.2%. The path was 8.1M → 9.9M → 9.1M → 9.2M.
A dip, a bounce, then holding steady. This isn’t a low-volume drift downward—real money is flowing in.

Trading volume: $26.9M. Market cap: $116.2M. Spot trading pairs are right there.

See what’s happening? Bears have the upper hand on funding, but the price isn’t cooperating.
Negative funding means the cost of holding short positions is starting to rise. The heavier the position, the more it hurts.

If the price pushes up, it won’t be the longs getting bitten—it’ll be the shorts who thought they were safe.
This doesn’t guarantee a rebound; it’s a setup for a short squeeze.

Don’t rush into a large position. First, calculate your holding costs.

Risk warning: negative funding can flip back, and leverage won’t wait for you to confirm the direction.

$KAIA Funding rate negative, OI keeps climbing

OI: +478.6%.

Price: 0.05686 USDT, 24h +5.0%.
Trading volume: $292.7M, market cap: $366.5M.
It’s not quiet.

Open interest has followed a clear path: 2.3M > 10.4M > 13.5M > 13.0M.
It rose as the price climbed—not a slow decline on low volume.
Real money is being put in, trade by trade.

Funding rate: -0.0431% → -0.0440%.
Already negative, and now even lower.
Sellers have the upper hand.
The cost of holding short positions is starting to rise.

Price is moving up while the funding rate is moving down. Both sides are pushing hard.

There’s only one takeaway: direction is undecided, positions are changing hands, and costs are rising.

Watch the funding rate’s sign. Watch your leverage.

Risk warning: A negative funding rate is no guarantee of safety—it can turn positive in just a few minutes.

Funding rate flips negative—$ONT shorts start paying

The funding rate has turned negative. -0.0005%—not zero, but negative.

Yesterday it was still +0.0003%. Today, shorts are paying for every second they hold.

Someone is adding to their position. Open interest has climbed from 2.6M to 2.8M, +9.0%—this isn’t a low-volume drift downward; real money is piling in.

But the price? 0.06214 USDT, still up 2.9% over 24h.

The rate has turned negative, short-side pressure is growing, and the tug-of-war between bulls and bears is intensifying. 24h trading volume is $6.1M, market cap is $62.2M, and spot trading pairs are available—there’s a way in and a way out.

Here’s the twist: the price is low, and the rate is negative. Shorts have the upper hand, but the cost of shorting is rising. Every funding interval means paying up again. If the price doesn’t fall and the rate doesn’t ease, who gets squeezed first?

This isn’t a guaranteed rebound. It’s a trap taking shape.

Watch the cost of holding positions, watch leverage, and wait for confirmation from the candles.

Risk reminder: the funding rate is a bill, not a signpost; get the direction wrong, and the cost adds up by the second.

HTX just launched USDT perpetuals for $RLC , with up to 20x leverage for both long and short positions.

It surged nearly 15% on Binance in a day, with over 300 million in trading volume.

Another major exchange is following this privacy-computing token. Do you think the hype can continue? Let’s discuss in the comments.

$STRK The funding rate is starting to bite

Just checked the order book. Something's off.

Up +22.9% in 24h, with the price at 0.09116. Even stranger is open interest: it surged from 17.8M to 29.8M, pulled back to 28.4M, then climbed back to 29.3M. OI is up +64.1% overall.

Every time it dips, someone adds to their position. It dips again, and someone adds more. This isn't a low-volume drift downward—real money is piling in. Trading volume is $419.9M, while market cap is only $676.6M.

Now look at the funding rate: -0.0021% to -0.0021%, staying negative the whole time. In plain English: shorts are starting to gain the upper hand—but every minute they hold, the cost keeps rising.

The price is near the lows, but short positions are getting more expensive. At this level, the likelier move isn't another dump—it's shorts buckling and buying back in.

Don't rush to pick a side. Check your own entry price first.

Risk warning: A negative funding rate doesn't guarantee a rebound. If your leverage can't hold up, being right about the direction won't help.

$XRP has been making quite a splash: Evernorth completed its merger with Armada SPAC on 10/9, and now holds 473 million XRP and $300 million in cash. It plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker XRPN on 10/12.

On the perpetuals side, 24-hour trading volume topped $300 million, with the price hovering around 1.4. Ripple, Pantera, and Kraken are all on the list of investors, making the institutional angle look increasingly solid.

Up 7%, yet the funding rate turned negative? Something’s off with $NEO

Up 7.0%—so why did the funding rate turn negative?

NEO is trading at 2.553 USDT, up 7.0% over 24h. The price is rising, but the funding rate has dropped from +0.0020% to -0.0006%. Who’s pushing the price down in the opposite direction?

Now look at open interest: 3.0M > 3.1M > 3.2M > 3.4M—climbing all the way, up 12.1%. It’s not unusual for people to add positions during a rally. But with the funding rate already negative and bearish pressure increasing, whose money is behind these new positions?

24h trading volume: $10.5M. Market cap: $257.5M. One thing to note: currently, only perpetual futures trading pairs are available. Trading activity is picking up, but the direction is still unclear—the battle between bulls and bears is intensifying.

The takeaway is simple: bears are starting to gain the upper hand, but the cost of holding short positions is rising. A modest increase in open interest isn’t a low-volume slide—it’s real money being put on the line.

Don’t rush to guess whether shorts will cover. Ask yourself first: how many sudden wicks can your leverage handle at this price?

Funding rates can change, but your position size won’t shrink on its own; liquidation won’t wait for your confirmation.
